Feb 5 - Bike Porn III

Bike Porn 3: Cycle Bound is a collection of short erotic films fromvarious artists. It is fun, smart and aware! Vancouver is an ideal cityto host an evening of enlightened bicycle sensuality.

For the past three years we have toiled to bring progressive ideas aboutsexuality and transportation forward. These days just about anyone canmake a movie, but actually getting it shown in front of a audience is muchmore difficult. We take those strong, independent voices and give them aplatform to share their ideas about the connections between sex andbicycling.

What we are talking about is an LBGT and hetero friendly program ofprogressive bike sexuality. It really is that amazing. Feeling bicyclecurious? Check out one of the trailers on www.bikesmut.com

Here's how one of our interns put it:

Bike Porn is civic

Current political policies are designed to repress sexual expression andtransportation choice. The Bike Porn film festival challenges that trendby enthusiastically displaying the quality of creative expression and theamount of fun inherent to both bicycling and sex. Both activities areworthy elements of a healthy lifestyle and a pleasant quality of life. -Jeffrey Jacobson

Starting in February the Backlash Tour will take us more than 10,000 milesto visit some 50 cities in 100 days. It is quite a challenge, but since wedon't sell DVDs this is the only way to share the movies while keeping thefilmmakers' privacy.

The thoughtful pacing of the program and live performances draw people inat the beginning and get the audience on their feet when it is done. Theshow is quite an exhilarating experience, but the magic happens afterwardswhen people who otherwise would feel uncomfortable discussing sex, genderor other topics are able to speak freely. Having watched the movies theyhave a common experience that feels good and makes them want to sharetheir feelings.
